the dynamic duo . Aaron's perception and analyses are amazing
Ramsey has more depth. But fragrance is subjective
Please tell Aaron that he needs to find an EU reseller. We are missing out on his creations.
Word!
Ill third that!
@thomasvn I totally agree with you.
Isn’t it already EU only ? Or just Uk
@@Theonlymayz just UK
This channel is the definition of quality over quantity. I admire the hustle of channels that put out daily videos but there’s really only so much that you can talk about when it comes to fragrance and a lot of their lists are completely interchangeable from day to day. It’s a breath of fresh air that you put more time and thought into your videos. Keep it up!
I appreciate that, thanks!
@FRAGMENTAL exactly brother, you should do your next video fully naked to really mix it up and keep things fresh👍
Aaron is awesome!!
His attitude about appreciating something without having to love it is so refreshing and welcome. You guys are a class act 👌
You two make the perfect couple, I wish you both well. You both taught me so much about fragrance.
Very interesting analysis from Aaron, nice relaxed vibe between the two of you.
Enjoyed this very much, thanks to both of you it's a pleasure to watch you and to listen to you!
Great video. Aaron is so good at identifying fragrance notes and their composition. Bravo. Great job.
Love you guys together, always a fun time.
The 1 million i dont care for, too sweet. I like the sauvage elixir
Love this format on the channel
La male elixir is surprisingly good on the dry down i bought it out of curiosity as i mainly own niche brands but its a great scent for everyday use and definitely an autumn winter fragrance
Le Male Elixir is an absolutely masterpiece and my biggest compliment getter 😍😍
I thought the same when I tried a tester in store and wanted to get it once my Le Male Le Parfum finished. But today I wore my Le Male Le Parfum and I fell in love again. I'm not so sure which is my favourite anymore...
@@PattyOFurniture1what’s the difference between them?
@@milosb9979His most recent Kenzo creation (EdP) is an ace in my book as well. And dirt cheap compared to many other designer brands.
@@theonedonnbiggest noticeable difference is a bit of added tobacco and a healthy dose of honey in the elixir, where le Parfum is a bit muted and floral forward. Elixir is less versatile, but very good for the occasions you’d wear it to, like out on a cooler night. Le Parfum is classier, slightly more mature, and can be worn casually or dressed up very well.
Totally agree and the performance is astonishing - lasts on my skin into the next day.
Man i love your work and your channel, keep on going ❤
Invictus elixer is so damn fire, super strong too and huge compliment getter
Great conversation and content.. thanks gents 🎉
Im new to the fragrance scene, only getting into it about 9 months ago, but I love the JPG Le Male Elixir. It's got this beautiful, creamy, soothing and just honey smell to it. But I also find it interesting you picked Paco Raban 1 Million Elixir to be your favourite, as I really liked that when smelling it and it was also next to the JPG Le Male Elixir. They both smelt really good to me!
Always great to see you guys together. Looks like I need to get my nose on that Centauri Elixir. I've never heard of the brand before and I love checking out indie houses.
You should!
Great vide on elixirs. I didnt get a chance to view much of it, but i'm sure it was good. I wanted to add that i'm curious about Boss Elixir & would like to see it cmpared as well.
I'm seriously considering opening a fragrance boutique to be able to work with many companies obviously but specifically with Aaron to get and keep his fragrances available in the US. His crrations are such a gift to the fragcom, they are works of art. His love and pride of his work shows and should be available to be enjoyed by anyone who desires.💯🦄. Its also amazing how far he's come over the past few years. He used to mot have a clue about most fragrance brands and now he can pick them out in seconds. A true genuis in his field.
I'd say go for it and all the best to you.
Aaron is a master ❤
Seeing Aaron review older scents like Drakkar would be pretty interesting. Love this series
Gucci Elixir and RL Elixir are good as well. Smelled them at Macy’s. Still have to smell the Boss Bottled Elixir. Great video guys. I own JPG, Invictus and 1 Million Elixir…my favourite so far is the JPG
First time watching you and enjoyed you gentleman talk and see what works for who and discover amazing perfumes. Thank you 🙂
The boys are back in town - always good to see you both on camera 😀
Thank you Chris and Aaron.
Really enjoyed this one..like when you 2 put it together, always interesting
Good video , really enjoyed 👌
I thought you had 5 lines racked up on the table when the video started 😂. Great content, lads.
love the two together
Great content!
Wish you do another one again with all the new elixir releases like Gucci and boss
I have always loved this duo. excellent video 😊
Great duo, interesting topic.
Thanks Louise ☺️
Aaron is cool. He's honest and very professional and has a great channel himself. Never stop bringing him on your channel, his coolness is starting to rub off on you a bit
Genial, como todos los que han hecho juntos. Gran equipo.
Aaron is a machine when it comes to fragrances. What a talent, he knows his game
Was hoping the new Gucci was going to be in the mix here. Definitely picking up that JPG soon. Loved the smell but it was just too hot here in Southern Georgia for this scent. But it's finally cooling down so this is going to be my goto fosho.
Sauvage Elixir is my signature fragrance. But I gotta check out the other elixir since it was your 2nd choice.
Invictus victory elixir is pretty nice to wear on colder days
Great idea for a video. Aaron is your hidden gem on this channel. Don’t worry Aaron I watch your channel also
I like his analysis and breakdowns
I love the one million one aswell. Great guilty pleasure
I like fresh fragrances. What would you recommend for winter time?
Great video, thanks 🙏
Aaron is brutal. I wish the best for his brand after its been betrayed by supplier. WHEN IS SMOULDER ELIXIR COMING?!?!
What happened with the supplier?
@@curlyhairdudeify his original
Supplier , who is also the supplier for mass produced designer fragrances, stopped working with him a year or two after Covid when they started to basically give tighter raw material constraints to aaron and more priority to larger names in the industry. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
I love the "whipping trough the base" effect in the background at 4:37 😅😂 so funny
dior suvage elixir is on a different league when it comes to projection and longevity. There are no other perfumes in this price range as strong as this. and very few if you go higher on the price range.
Aaron Has a Good Sense for The Differences of What either mass appealing , or Age Groups , , closed Spaces ! Open Air ,, Each one of those Have their Place time and Occasions ,, I like All of them
Aaron Terrance Hughes is way cool and exceptionally knowledgeable. His fragrances are above amazing.
2024: ELIXIR INTENSE trend
2025: Eau FRAICHE PARFUM, and start over
I know this is a Perfume/Cologne channel, but just want to say nice Tissot PRX! I went with the powermatic 80 in the waffle green dial and its become my favorite watch in the collection.
Ah yes it’s a beautiful piece. Talk about compliments. I get waaaaaay more on my PRX than any fragrance!
Me too. But mine got scratches on metal strap. Any idea to remove that scratch I mean it’s not that even visible but I’m quite ocd about this. I really love this watch
i have sauvage elixir, while i cant say its best fragrance for me, it is a masterpiece that blows my mind every time i wear it. and its strong enough that is decent value
Yeah the compliments I've gotten with that one has been amazing
Love these
Would love you both to review Kayali new Oudgasm collection. Vanilla, Café, Rose & Tobacco if get opportunity.
Love this ❤
would've loved to hear his assessment of Boss Bottled Elixir. I believe it is more incensy rather than sweet!
Please make another videos, with the rest of the elixirs !
Aaron come on "came up with Elixir" righttt sure you did 🤣🤣
A Aaron perpective to the initio line would be unique
Love Paco rabanne I got into the 1 million elixir as soon as it released I’ve got the victory elixir coming very soon so that will be cool.
No elixir is crap in my opinion if I were to be asked it’s all about what scent you like and want to wear to just uniquely be you.
Interested to hear what Aaron thinks of Boss Bottled Elixir.
Victory Elixir is incredible… paid retail. No regrets.
I love One Million Elixir and I’m not too embarrassed to admit it 😂
In the same boat my friend!
Longevity and performance?
@@logan6931out of this world
excellent @@logan6931
Only compliment ive ever gotten was from one million elixir. Its my signature scent. I remember smelling it for the first time at sephora and being like, yep, im making this mine
Wore JPG Elixir at 08h00 and could smell it properly at 21h00 it’s amazing. Got a compliment as well.
I love them but (Dior) "Sauvage Elixir" is the one i like the least. If i had to choose just one between these perfumes, it would be too hard. So my 3 favorites are : "Le Mâle Elixir" "Invictus Elixir" and "One Million Elixir". I don't have a particular order of preference for ranking them. I just love them. Love the sweet, warm, enveloping and intoxicating scents with a really good projection and sillage. And i think that they really do the job ! 🔥😍
Azzaro pour homme was the first ever Elixir which gets no credit for being the first to use Elixir name Dior stole the name from Azzaro
I do remember some older video of yours Chris where you described some alleged "tobacco" fragrance (can't remember which one it was,) but I did comment there that I could not really get actual tobacco from it, and in any case, it was not the most prominent note in that fragrance profile for sure. So I suggested then, better to highlight the overall major profile features (e.g. sweet, ambery, floral, creamy, woody, gourmand, powdery, etc.) and possibly the most prominent note(s) when it's patently clear there are such (e.g. iris, vetiver, vanilla, smokey leather, or even tobacco when that's the case) but not listing a fragrance as a "tobacco" one, when the tobacco is either clearly not the main or most prominent note, or it's even questionable whether there's actual tobacco in there.
Really love this type of review with Aaron discussing perfumes. The Sauvage, to my nose, smells EXACTLY like a bar of Dove soap...so I'll never own it.
Le Male Elixir is nice enough but overly familiar to my nose ie nothing new. Reminds a bit of Lanvin Avant Garde which had beeswax & tobacco accords and even CK One Shock. Very well done tbf.
Ralph's Club Elixir is great too.
this duo is better than Batman & Robin
I tried on Dior Sauvage Elixir at a store and forgot about it. I didn't wear that jacket for weeks and when I put it on again the smell was still 100% there. Wild that it lasts that long. Also, that stuff really burns!! It reminds me it that cologne from Anchorman LOL
Waiting list for Sauvage Elixir in Mexico! Wow! Here in eastern Europe every discounter has it readily available. Won't be long and you will have people selling it out of their trunks in parking lots hahaha. Ok i exagerate a bit but still its out there like any other perfume.
8:52 He said the exact same thing about the smoothness during the CD Savuage Elixir review on his page.
Elixir Roots are (like most words in earth) from Greek word Xerion that means dry , it used for alchemy . Arabic and Egypt world borrowed it and after changes now its EL- Exerion = Elexerion ( Ελιξιριον In modern Greek ) .
ETH totally validates my collection of Elixirs, gave all of them a 9. Boom.
Dior and Azzaro have released elixirs 10-20 years ago.
Le Male elixir smells like my bag pack when I used to carry my Spicebomb extreme and a packet of spearmint chewing gum in with it. Love it and it’s very non offensive too!
My wife says they smell the same - with LME being more powerful, SBE more subtle. I can be sparing with the JPG but need a few sprays with SBE or it fades quickly 🤷♂️
@@MarkJYule newer batches of SBE unfortunately suck :(
@@MarkJYuleFor me SBE last almost twice as long as Le Male Elixir
Great video
Glad he gave 1 Million a high rating because it reminds me of his Slut Elixir. Slut Elixir is way better with much more amazing notes in it, but they have a similarity and neither makes one of the other redundant. They actually layer well.
Huh, I live in Mexico and a couple of months ago I went to try Sauvage Elixir and they had a lot in stock. I didn't buy it then but now I'm kinda getting FOMO if what Aaron said is true lol
When will we be able to get his stuff in the USA?
I have a question. How do you guy's recognize that a fragrance is French style perfumery, or Italian , which things makes that fragrance to smell like a french style or any other styles. Aaron a lot of times in his reviews, says that this fragrance is a french style perfumery. What makes that perfume to smell french. Thank you.
Azzaro Pour Homme Elixir released in 2009 so a bit ahead of the trend.
My absolute favourite perfumes right now are very sweet Oud scents..think angels share or oud for greatness.
Please review Spirit of Dubai. I own Meydan and Turath. Supreme Quality
Le Male elixir has a fantastic opening BUT it went way too "playdoh-y" on my skin. I am interested in that Centauri Elixir tho...
Victory elixir outperforms the rest , and the coconut tonka in there is amazing well done
U have them all?
I have One Million Elixir, Le Male Elixir, Invictus Elixir, Sauvage Elixir, Ralph’s Club Elixir, Hugo Boss Elixir and Gucci Elixir.
Invictus Elixir is the weakest out of all of them in terms of performance, with the best performers being Sauvage and Gucci. They both last 24 hours easily.
@@uplightuk8924 it all depends on the PH of each person ,
I wish Aaron named a fragrance Elixir given his great sense of humor.
Completely of topic; do you do the voiceover for Jet2 holiday advert?
Centauri Elixir is one of my newest fragrances and among my top favorites overall!
what is this elixir flanker actually is? is it extrait, EdP or Perfume?
Does anybody know what watch his wearing? Tissot Prx? It looks cool the integrated links
I agree with his assessment of 1 Million Elixir. Really sweet off the top, but once that calms down, it's fantastic. I bought a 200ml of that one. I haven't had Le Male Elixir for long, but so far that thing's shot up to the top of my list pretty quickly. I'm finding myself wearing that one and Gentleman Reserve Privee over Herod these days. It feels like blasphemy to even say that!
Nah it doesn't. I wanted to love Herod more than my own dad after seeing the notes and when I finally got the chance to smell it I was disappointed. It didn't scratch anything in my brain, it didn't feel bold and it didn't wow me at all. Sad because I really was hyped and wanted to buy it instead of searching for a clone
I earn the first 4 fragrances and let me tell you guys, the most complimented one for me has been one million elixir and my least one has been sauvage elixir. Telling you that, people like more normal, sweet, and not complex notes on a fragrances so thats why sauvage elixir, being a masterpiece, is a complex fragrance and not many people like it. So be sure what do you want on a fragrance and by your idea, buy the one you prefer as the best option for you.
Sauvage Elixir has been my most complimented fragrance I've ever worn, I got a compliment after thirty minutes of wearing it the first time. Part of that maybe because people can smell it from across the room and it leaves an intense long scent trail.
Aron is nice person
Sauvage elixir is a beast, I’d say no more than 2 sprays needed for this one!
Right. And there's nothing like it out there. All these new colognes smell too sweet. I can't get enough of that Sauvage tho.
@@derekwilliams6188 yes that’s right, lots of sweet ones out there! Sometimes it’s good to have a more masculine scent IMO.
Love ATH
i chucked at the way those fragrance swabs were on the table like that. Looks like you're about to snort a load of lines. Maybe that's just the place where my mind goes? 😂
Still waiting for any other perfumer as guest like you did in the past with cecile once.
